Saturn is one of General Motors' brands. It was launched in 1990
largely due to the success of Japanese small-car imports in the
United States, and this brand was the company's response. It is
popularly known for its "no-haggle" sale policy. And it is very
commonly known to have customer satisfaction with its dealer
service that is among the highest of any car brand in the United
States. It has also received praise for its
environmentally-conscious manufacturing processes and for its
innovations such as using flexible plastic side panels on its
cars to avoid minor dents, as well.
One of the vehicles that are running under this brand is the
Saturn Relay. It is a minivan that is the first in its brand not
to have a polymer side paneling. The Saturn Relay uses a 3.5
liter High Value 3500 LX9 V6 that has the capability to generate
200 horsepower and 220 ft-lb. torque.
Interestingly, the new 2006 Saturn Relay is a mini van with four
doors that is quite capable of having seven passengers in its
interior. It has been made available in three trims that ranges
from the FWD 2 to the AWD 3. The FWD 2 is equipped with a
standard 3.5 liter V6 engine that can achieve 18 mpg in the
city, and 25 mpg during highway driving. The AWD 3, meanwhile,
is well equipped with the standard 3.5 liter V6 engine that can
take up to 17 mpg in the city and 23 mpg in the highway.
Standard for these trims is a four-speed automatic transmission
with overdrive.
The Saturn Relay brings along with it convenience due to its
features that create such a feeling for its driver and
passengers. The list includes a passenger airbag cutoff sensor
that is activated by seatbelt engagement; covered lower console
storage that is located on its floor; cruise control; OnStar
Telematics System with twelve months Safe and Sound Service
Plan; OnStar Vehicle Location System; a keyless entry that is
operated via key fob; a multi-function remote that operates
doors to lock and unlock and is also anti-theft; and a telephone
antenna.
Options for this new vehicle includes manual air conditioning,
interior dust and pollen air filter, driver airbag with dual
stage deployment, DVD player located in the second row with a
7-inch screen located in the overhead console, second row sound
controls for audio and DVD, rear window defroster, power door
locks with automatic locking, AM/FM radio with speed sensitive
volume, eight speakers, CD player, MP3 player, and
pre-programmed equalizer.

b>Auto Parts Information. Customers can also access the
website's vast array of Saturn Relay parts and Saturn parts.
In a nutshell, what is lacking for this model is that it does
not bring along with it standard side air bags. However, it is
good that it has ABS, air conditioning, alarm, automatic
transmission, CD player, child safety locks, child seat tethers,
DVD player, OnStar System, power windows/locks, side impact door
beams, and theft tracking.
